Hogsmeade

Hogsmeade is the only village in Britain inhabited exclusively by wizards and witches. Hengist of Woodcraft built the village a thousand years ago in the shadow of a large, rocky mountain to hide from the Muggles who had persecuted him. The village consists of a High Street lined with thatched-roofed shops, surrounded by streets of cottages that become further apart away from the main village. As the only non-Muggle community in Britain [POA5], Hogsmeade has played a pivotal role in wizarding history in the country. It attracts all sorts of magical beings like ogres and hags, who wouldn't blend in well in Muggle areas. Goblins plotted a rebellion in one of its inns in 1612, and many other fateful meetings took place in the village during Harry Potter's years at Hogwarts. Hogsmeade is not far from the school (about a thirty minutes' walk, or twice as much if the journey is made through one secret passages connecting it to the school). Hogwarts students in their third year or above can visit the village four times a year, one Saturday in each season.

Diagon Alley

Diagon Alley is a twisted cobbled street located at (or at least accessed on foot from) the centre of London, which acts as the main shopping centre of wizarding Britain. When shopping for those particularly tricky items (such as a Lunascope or a Nimbus 2000), Diagon Alley is the only place to go. While a number of wizard-related items can be bought from other places, such as Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley seems to be an important location for the wizarding populace of Britain. And, as Hogsmeade is the only purely magical village in the whole of Britain, it is unclear whether magical shops can be found anywhere else.For the majority of the wizards of the world, the location of Diagon Alley is irrelevant as most reach it either by Apparating or by using the Floo Network, both of which provide a means of nearly instantaneous travel. For those witches and wizards who wish to walk, or who are unable to reach Diagon Alley by magical means, the entrance can be found via a tiny, grubby-looking pub on the Charing Cross Road called The Leaky Cauldron.

Knockturn Alley

Knockturn Alley is a dingy street that runs off Diagon Alley and is home to an altogether less salubrious class of wizarding shops and a horrible reputation. Only one Knockturn Alley shop - Borgin and Burkes - is specifically identified, but there are a number of others, selling shrunken heads, giant spiders, poisonous candles, Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent and a vast array of other Dark Arts materials. The fact that items like these are openly on sale in a place accessible by any witch or wizard is a plain indication that ownership and trading of such things is legal, even if it is not respectable, per say. It's unclear, however, where the law stands on use of the Dark Items in question.

The Ministry of Magic

The Ministry of Magic is located somewhere just below the surface of downtown London. To get to the Ministry, you must head for an old, shabby telephone booth down in a small graffiti-filled alleyway. Once you get inside, pick up the receiver, hold it above your head, and dial 6 - 2 - 4 - 4 - 2 (which happens to spell out the word "MAGIC"). The voice of the receptionist fills the air. She first tells you to state your name and business. When you have been approved, you get a small silver badge that lists your name and business as stated. You are then told, if you are a visitor, to submit to a search and present your wand for registration at the security desk, which is at the far end of the Atrium. Then the telephone booth begins to descend like an elevator, finally arriving in a magnificent mahogany-panelled entrance hall with a highly polished, dark wood floor. Welcome to the Ministry of Magic

Platform Nine and Three Quarters

The Hogwarts Express, the only train that takes students to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry, departs at 11am on September 1st; the day before Hogwarts students begin their school year. Students board this train from Platform Nine and Three Quarters at Kings Cross Station, London

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is the wizarding hospital located in the heart of Muggle London, England. Patients go to St. Mungo's for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from common illnesses like dragon pox to more complicated ailments like spell damage and werewolf bites. Like all aspects of the wizarding world, St. Mungo's is hidden in plain site, disguised as a dilapidated, red-brick department store that muggles see but largely ignore. Wizards or witches who are unable to reach St. Mungo's by magical transportation can enter through Purge and Dowse, Ltd. To Muggles, Purge and Dowse Ltd. is nothing more than a rundown, old-fashioned department store that is always closed for refurbishment. The "store" boasts a window display containing "a few chipped dummies with their wigs askew, standing at random and modeling fashions at least ten years out of date" [OOTP22]. By leaning in and talking to one of the unsightly dummies, patients and visitors can gain access to the hospital, stepping directly through the magical store front and into St. Mungo's reception area.

Spinner's End

It is well known that witches and wizards are scattered throughout Great Britain. Many of these members of the Magical Community live among Muggles, some in otherwise ordinary Muggle towns and cities. One such wizard who kept a house in an unassuming Muggle city was Severus Snape

Orphanage

The Orphanage (full name unknown) was located somewhere in England, probably in or close to London. The importance of this Orphanage, glimpsed briefly inside Dumbledore's Pensieve, is that it was the birthplace and childhood home of Tom Marvolo Riddle, the boy who would become Lord Voldemort. This Orphanage was a Muggle institution visited by Dumbledore in 1938, after Tom Riddle turned eleven years old. Dumbledore went to make arrangements for Tom to attend Hogwarts, and in doing so had his first face-to-face encounter with the child who later became the most fearsome and deadly Dark Wizard of the age

The Quidditch World Cup Arena

The final game of the four hundredth twenty-second Quidditch World Cup was held in England in August of 1994. This game marked the first time in thirty years Britain had hosted the World Cup Final and tickets for the match were extremely hard to acquire. The match was between the Bulgarian and Irish National Quidditch teams. To house this event a gigantic magical stadium was created; the Quidditch World Cup Arena.

Godric’s Hollow

Godric's Hollow is just one of many Muggle villages where magical communities were established following the signing of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689, which obliged wizards and witches to go into hiding from the Muggle world. Others included Tinworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire and Ottery St Catchpole on the English south coast. Here for hundreds of years magical families lived in harmony with sympathetic and sometimes confunded Muggles

Azkaban

Azkaban is the horrible wizard's prison where witches and wizards are incarcerated for their crimes. Located on a tiny island in the freezing waters of the North Sea, Azkaban is not like Muggle prisons that rely on iron bars and heavy security to keep their prisoners in line. Instead, until 1996 at least, Azkaban depended upon some of the most fearsome creatures on earth to guard its prisoners: Dementors.

Malfoy Manor

Located in Wiltshire, in the south of England, Malfoy Manor is a large and opulent house which has belonged for generations to one of the oldest aristocratic wizarding families in Britain . The Malfoys' wealth and influence is infamous, as is their pure-blood mania and fascination for the Dark Arts. As such, Malfoy Manor contains a number of Dark Artifacts. The Ministry of Magic conducted a number of raids in search of these Artifacts, entering Malfoy Manor at least twice during the 1992-1993 school year, and again in 1997.

The Burrow

The Burrow, home of the Weasley family, is a towering, crooked cottage just outside Ottery St. Catchpole, a fictional village located in Devon, England. The house is six stories high, with four or five chimneys, and is most likely held up by magic (indeed, it is magically concealed from the Muggles in the village nearby). The entrance to the house is announced by a lopsided sign, and surrounded by a jumble of Wellington boots and several chickens that live in the front yard
